PAPER POCKET-BOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 289,515, dated December 4, 1883. Application filed August 11, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES DE QUILL- FELDT, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Pocket- Books, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved paper pocket-book which is made from one continuous piece of paper; and it consists in the method of making a pocket-book, as set forth in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent, respectively,"a perspective view, a side view, a vertical transverse section, and a horizontal section, of my improved paper pocket-book; and Fig. 5 represents the blank from which the pocket-book is made.

Similar letters of reference indicate the corresponding parts.

In the drawings, A represents'a paper. blank that is made of one continuous piece'of stiff card-paper, and is composed of two symmetrical halves, each being composed of an oblong part, a, and'an oblong part, b, of the same size. The parts a a are connected by a narrow center piece, d, that forms the top piece of the pocket-book when it is folded into proper shape from the blank. The parts a a are provided with gummed side flaps a a, and the parts I; b with longitudinallyfolded side flaps b b, which are of greater width than the flaps a a. The side flaps a a and b 12 form, when gummed together, the side gussets of each half of the book. For

over the parts a a, upon which the gummed side flaps a a are pasted to the outer portions of the folded side flaps b b, as shown in Fig. 4. The two pockets thus formed are then folded one over the other by means of the con- .necting'piece (1, so that the latter covers the opening of the pockets. The parts I) bform the interior walls of the book, and are adjacent to each other, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, while the parts a a form the exterior walls, the

book being opened in the usual manner for in serting or removing bills, cards, and other articles.

Apocket-book is thus obtained that is made of one continuous piece of paper and pasted together at the side gussets of each half, so as to form two pockets, theoutsides of which are properly ornamented and embellished, the whole forming a neat and useful advertising medium.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A paper pocket-book made of a single blank cut and folded substantially/as dethis purpose the parts b b are folded inwardly scribed, and having the outwardly-folded portions of the flaps b cemented to the inwardlyfolded flaps 0/.

In testimony that-I claim the foregoing as my inventionI have signed my name in presence .of two subscribing witnesses.
